I have quite a few students I’m working on carry-over of skills for. You know the type-the student that is able to say the /th/ sound in words, sentences and even in paragraph form but the second he is out of the “speech” mind set, he is off saying “Okay, Mrs. Allison, see you next “Fursday!”
Then, I came across the Multiple Choice Articulation App.
In a nutshell, the Multiple Choice Articulation App provides specific questions that guide students to practice their sounds while in conversation. This app provides questions targeting the following sounds: /s,z,r,l,sh,ch,th/ as well as /s,r,l/ blends.
Once you choose the sound, you are able to select the position of the sound you are targeting (initial, medial, or final).
Next, a silly and thought-provoking question comes across the screen.
Students must respond using their sound in conversation.
Why I like Multiple Choice Articulation:
1. It is difficult to find activities to work on sounds in conversation. This app provides tons of questions that guide the conversation in a way I know I’ll get a lot of responses from my students.
2. It’s fun! My kids get a kick out of the questions! They are made for kids and are designed stretch their imaginations. A few of the questions have me pondering them!
3. I use it for multiple different goals. During a group, this app is great because I can work on articulation, grammar, and answering questions at the same time.
Some things that would make it even better!
1. An option to record student’s responses would be great to provide feedback.
This is an overall wonderful app that is super fun to use with students. It retails for $9.99. The creator of this app (Erik X. Raj) is a speech therapist himself and has generously offered to give one Multiple Choice Articulation app away! Please comment and leave your email address to enter. Thanks Erik!

May 13, 2013 at 7:47 pmIt looks and sounds like a very good app. I struggle with most of my patients in the same way…they enter the therapy room and are in full speech mode but the second you put them to play a non therapeutic game or they walk out to mom all their articulation goes crazy. This seems like the perfect app to target this.
